4th Test - 2-1? Time for Australia to Score?

4th Test - 9-13 August, 2013 - Chester-Le-Street

England
England will seem on top and then drop as their standards will fluctuate. They will be seen fighting harder and having to rework their plans. Such inconsistencies will be best dealt with better applied aggression.

1st Innings
Batsman should be weary of taking unnecessary risks, otherwise they should build a good innings. Bowling will stick to a strong plan but they will have to be careful to finish well.

2nd Innings
Batting in the 2nd innings will be more consistent whereas bowling will need to be better planned – especially as its' weaknesses will begin to show.

The Captain - Alastair Cook
Cook is looking positive, but will be too soft. He will have to be aggressive, pro-active and take decisions out of his comfort zone.

Australia
Team Australia may not have the best plans, but they have the right combination of players who will script their actions towards success. Their teamwork will see them pull through strongly despite some kinks in their armour.

1st Innings
Batting will be careful but steady, whereas bowling will initially be wayward only to be aggressive and successful later.

2nd Innings
There is anxiousness in the batting which will lead to a self-inflicted loss in momentum hence they will need to be watchful of such negative patches in play. Bowling will start off a little expensive only for them to pull it back well.

The Captain - Michael Clarke
There is a certain confusion in Clarke's approach, but he is okay to captain that way. He will be instinctive and enjoy the game without taking on unnecessary pressures.

Tarot Advantage:
There is not a lot to choose between the teams, except for just a slight edge in team work, hence Tarot Advantage: Australia
